Oh, fan-frakking-tastic. Texas is cooking us alive this weekend before giving us whiplash with a cold front. Can't wait.
**Brace your sweaty selves, North Texas! We're gonna be hotter than your mom's meatloaf this weekend. Sunday's gonna be the main course, before Monday's cold front dessert. Enjoy the sweat-fest, losers!**

Texas Weather: Because Mother Nature Can't Make Up Her Damn Mind
Hold onto your pumpkin spice lattes, folks — Texas is about to go full mood-swing mode. One minute it's shorts weather, the next you'll be digging out your ugly Christmas sweaters. Who said bipolar weather wasn't fun?
North Texas: The New Sahara Desert?
The Farmers' Almanac said it would be "warmer-than-average," but they should have just said, "Turn off your ovens, you can cook dinner on the sidewalk."
CBS News Texas is predicting 95℉ on Saturday and 96℉ on Sunday. Because who needs a sauna when you can just step outside, right?
And let's not forget Breckenridge, the new surface of the sun. AccuWeather says it's going to be 96℉ on Friday, 98℉ on Saturday, and a whopping 101℉ on Sunday. Might as well start practicing your "egg-frying on the pavement" TikToks.
Here's the AccuWeather forecast for the other unlucky cities:
City | Friday's high | Saturday's high | Sunday's high |
Dallas | 94℉ | 96℉ | 98℉ |

But don't worry, all you cold-weather lovers. A strong cold front is expected Sunday night. Because why have consistent weather when you can have whiplash? Enjoy the 70s next week. Until then, try not to melt.
